Our Story

Travel With A Paddle was started by Beau Nixon & Clare Baranowski in early 2018. Merging a passion for SUP surf travel and marine biology, our trips are designed to enhance your surfing performance on the water whilst also learning about the surrounding environment.

Beau is a former competitive SUP surfer with a talent for coaching and his career in the sport of stand up paddling has taken him all over the world competing, coaching, commentating and leading SUP surf coaching clinics.

Clare is a marine biologist and her career has spanned over ten years with an expertise in tropical marine biology. She currently specialises in manta ray research and in the past has carried out coral reef restoration, turtle conservation and sustainability development.

Why Travel With A Paddle?

GUIDED BY EXPERTS

Your guides are top notch. Decades of experience mean you learn from the best. Why expect anything less?

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

We have spent years living and working in each destination so we can ensure your trip runs smoothly.

SMALL GROUP NUMBERS

Our group trips are limited to 8 SUP surfers. This equals more waves for you and dedicated 1:1 coaching time.

SUP SPECIFIC WAVES

We take you to waves that suit your ability and comfort level. Plus, who likes surfing with crowds? We definitely don't.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

We have spent the best part of the last decade working in luxury establishments where only the best will do. We bring that level of service to you.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

Sustainable travel is hard. That's why we carbon offset, support local communities and partner with local operators with green credentials.

SUP Surf Coaching

Looking to take your SUP surfing skills to the next level? 

Our streamlined coaching process makes it easy for you to reach your surfing goals quickly. By focusing on your unique strengths and areas for improvement, Beau can help you improve your technique, catch more waves, and make the most of every session.
